Right, the first version isn't supposed to be a mass market consumer
device. But I believe the intention

mass market device.

Well, the 1st production run was scheduled for the 10th, and it's now
the 14th. We've yet to hear
a peep from anyone. So, if I was a betting man I'd say that it either
didn't go off, or another
show stopper / slip causer popped up.
